With the discussion about this being the 50th season of the Trophy, can’t help feeling a certain irony that we have drawn Barnet as that 4-3 defeat in the first season did rather set the pattern for those that followed!

From the Barnet forum...

Back in 1970 we played Bath City away in the 1st round of the Trophy. At half time we were 3-0 down. We went on to win 4-3 with a fabulous hat trick from Colin Powell and the other goal from Les Eason. That second half was the best 45 minutes of watching Barnet ever!!

And yes, Colin, s/he is correct and I'm wrong - the match was played on 10.1.70

Someone else on their forum is suggesting we'll agree to go to penalties if it's a draw at 90 minutes. I'll be very surprised if we do...
